By the age of 14 he was so convinced there was no God that he laughed at those who thought there was. However, Jesus spun his life 180, and today he cannot understand why atheists do not believe God exists and why some even hate Him even though they think he doesn't exist.

2. He converted to Jesus Christ at the age of 17.

During the height of his career on Growing Pains, he developed a belief in God, and became a born-again Christian.

Every summer, he and his family invite terminally and seriously ill children and their families to Camp Firefly.

"It's a camp my wife and I started with our family about 24 years ago, when we were working on Growing Pains. We were meeting lots of children through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Their wish was to meet the Seaver family and get an autograph. Our hearts went out to them. My wife and I wanted to do something more for them than just sign a piece of paper and take a picture," Cameron said, according to Charisma News.
